2 Comments on “Breaking: New York state will lose two House seats”

This is the result of the excessive tax and regulatory policies of New York state. The state’s high taxes would be fine if we got our money’s worth in services, but we haven’t. Too much is spent on retirement benefits for public employees.

My thoughts on the loss are the taxpayers win. The wages, salaries, benefits and additional office expenses required for 2 congressional seats could be as much as a million dollars a year or more. Savings of millions of dollars per year [ spending less ] is always a good thing
